You spoke my mind 100%.. Blacks americans case is something else.

Where in the US have you lived?

rusher14:


Were you expecting the surgeon general to ask people to lose weight overnight?

Drugs, Alcohol and obesity constitute the main immuno-depressants that result in the death of Covid-19 patients not just obesity. Let's be guided.

SIRTee15:


Pls go and read about the young nigerian guy that died of COVID-19 in the US....
Educated, brilliant young chap....
Yet was denied testing and early intervention until too little too late....
He called and called, but was ignored...

Self hate becloud sense of proper judgement....
Blacks are being pushed down the order of priority list in the US and u blaming underlying health issues...
No body get cancer pass white man.....
Their body is so frail....

Blacks work dirty jobs also in Europe....
Yet they not dropping dead disproportionately compared to the general population....

leave him

What about the black teacher that was ignored until she died? Maybe she was also a lazy, drug addict with a history of alcoholism.

Nothing worse than a self-hating, ignorant negro

Necksonnel:


Stop commenting, you have no sense of reasoning. The virus is no racist and blacks are no targetted. Most black in America have underlying health conditions and cannot afford the health care system because they don't have money, no health insurance. You should understand how the world works even in Nigeria here. Rich and poor are never treated thesame, Educated and non educated are never treated thesame. Same thing happens everywhere even in America.

SHE SHOULD STOP COMMENTING, SO THE FALSEHOOD YOU PEDDLE WILL BECOME GOSPEL TRUTH ABI?


U TRY!

fairfora:
True and the reason is simple..

Blacks do all sorts of dirty jobs in America

Blacks work as cleaners and bartenders which make them susceptible to the virus

Blacks and other minorities work as toilet cleaners, hospital attendants and security guards who open and close doors for customers and these make them more vulnerable than their white counterparts

Blacks are more ravaged by illnesses such as diabetes, HBP, etc due to the ever increasing inequalities in America, caused by whites. More whites have access to healthcare than blacks...most of whom cannot afford the bill.

Blacks are also so backward because they mostly depend on government for everything. Only those who dare the challenge among them stand tall.

I was in Washington DC a few years ago for an event culminating in my meeting with Barack Obama at the daughters of the american revolution ( DAR) hall. I was the only one invited from Nigeria for that great event which drew more than 1000 people of like-minds from across the globe. The population of black to white in that hall was like 5/95. I looked everywhere, na soso white heads I dey see. I now looked odd amongst them.

Amazingly, all the cleaners, guards, security personnel, luggage carriers, drivers engaged in that event were blacks. I went to a lady to claim my tag who was also black. She didn't know why I was feeling moody. She asked if i was ok and I smiled and said yes, ma'am.

Blacks are seen everywhere doing the low cadre jobs. There's no how they would not touch mall railings, use toilets, carry infected garbage, open the doors to customers enter and leave the mall, etc. I hardly see white Americans doing these. People should check it...only a meagre number of educated Americans and celebrities are infected.

In Spain and italy, whites are mostly affected by the pandemic. The natives do those jobs earlier mentioned there mainly. That's why the reverse is the case in those countries.

May ur sanity never depart from u...

No doubt, but taking drugs and alcohol as the main reason for the disproportionate number of black people dying due to Coronavirus is simply false.

Black people do not engage in drug or alcohol abuse than their white counterparts.

The stark difference between the two is the percentage of people suffering from Obesity related diseases such as diabetes .

rusher14:


Where in the US have you lived?

Why do u ask.

porthouse7:
i doubt DAT will be possible, ipob collapse its media wing on nairaland hence d hate speech

Let's try and do away with the hate speech, that way we shall see far.

kroger:


Why do u ask.

Because you reached a conclusion which appeared to be based on some life experience.

obiekunie2:
truth is nobody cares about any body.
its all about the money.
they want their share of the trillion dollars covid fund.

Not true! Why would they be after money when people are dying?

tubolancer:
Black in America don't follow simple instructions like their white counterparts. When the isolation began blacks were roving abouts not mindful of the dreaded disease. May God help the blacks all over the world.

Hw inform is this statement

Graxie:
How come more blacks are not dying in UK and France?

Compare the percentage of blacks out of the total population of the 3 countries and you'll probably get your answer.

jeph19:


Exactly what we watch in movies
1. Drugs
2. Hoes
3. Gangsters
4. Get arrested
5. They usually end up in high school and do menial jobs

who creates the movies to portray black people in that negative light? so white people don't do drugs ,gangster,crime, and hoes. who are the highest number of porn stars ?

If you are based in America, you probably don't know how the system work to keep people down. In Nigeria, at least back in the days, I know kids who were from the slums but attended the same public schools with kids of fairly well to do families. Education is not the sole determinant of whether you will be successful in life or not, neither is it poor or rich parental background. If you are brainy kid from a poor home back in the days when Nigeria wasn't has terrible, and you went to public school, maintaining a network of school friends from middleclass home is enough. In America, it does not work that way. Where you live is what will determine and shape your future. Your only option is that runned down public school where all the kids are from lower class poor families. You have no chance to breakaway from that environment. It's like being condemned for life.

Why have I not gotten it? Why has p.diddy and all the people he is gonna co-host the revolt news with not gotten it? Mad people, black Americans are bunch of deluded alarmists. Over here an average black American will commit a crime and will expect a judge not to convict and send him to jail when found guilty. Over here they don't go to college, they all wanna be gangsters and they hate on the whites for no just reason. All they do is drugs and hoeing around and yet they wanna compete with the whites. Latinos have more morals now than my African American brothers and sisters. For p.diddy it's all about the money. Corona virus knows no race, the blacks dying from it are probably the chain smokers and drug addicts whose lungs are semi-damaged already.

It has nothing to do with race . Are blacks the drug cartels ? Do the drug cartels have morals?
So white people don't do drugs ,gangs and hoe around,pedophile ,incest,kidnapping,homeless, single mother ,divorce ,murder ? which race have the highest number of porn stars ? I think black people like you are just dumb and always demonize your own and praise white . You and the 300 clowns that liked your comments are real slaves .
All Africans around the world,whether American or Nigerian are victims of white supremacy and should be more united instead of all this .

African immigrants excel abroad just as Chinese and Indian come to Nigeria and take all the opportunities to make money while Nigerians are complaining of Hunger.

My dad says the same thing too.. They are utterly useless.. all they do is make baby mamas and do drugs and cracks...

Well said!!! They dont wanna think out of the box only want to have sex and give birth to children and pollute the society. I know of a girl who had 9 kids with different men she was pregnant for the 10th.

U see most blacks having security jobs cos that's where they can just breath, sit and wait for d day to be over and get a pay check then wait for tax return to file with their kids without a father and the cycle continues. Baby mama raising emotional men.

lionphil:
Did you hear? One out of 10 Americans is black. Yet out of those numbers, the number of black Americans dead from covid-19 is half of the total number of deaths in the USA... if ya all don't see something wrong, I do.

Why should blacks be the most hit? So the remaining half that are dead are actually being shared by the remaining 9 non-black folks.

oya let me tell you the one go like. Trump is trying to erase all blacks in US to make US all white...abi we like conspiracy

Read a nurse's statement on BBC about a 'triage' . She said something like its a situation whereby a patient that doesn't have a great life worth living for is allowed to die due to limited medical resources. Hmm...

And currently there is a opioid drug epidemic in America that kills white in the tens of thousands. In 2018, over 35000 white people died from opioid overdose. Much more than black people. The only reason it is not affecting the black community as much is because white doctors had stereotyped their black American patients and never trust them enough to prescribe opioid drugs to them, and in so doing indirectly and unintentionally protected them from opioid.

healthcare?Dont they have health insurance which suppose to be composary ? Are you saying if some one does not have a health insurance in this time of corona virus, he/she would not be attended to?I doubt it , because if the infected are not treated,then the virus will spread even further . Even as bad as Nigeria is , people are attended to immediately it is confirm that they have virus .
I think the high rate of death among BA is due to their lifestyle and their obesity, couple with the fact that so many of them are poor and live in poor neighborhood where they would not taken the social distancing seriously.

Many do not have insurance, so most rely on A/E services as their healthcare. When you are poor (a point you have raised yourself), you cannot have insurance. Insurance is expensive o. Even the insurance in Nigeria is categorised and the correct ones ( which is probably basic compared to other nations) are very expensive. Can you afford 50K to 150K every month for insurance in Nigeria?
The middle class people who have insurance are lucky as their companies may provide them with insurance but if you're poor and just do menial jobs like cleaning etc, insurance is a luxury and you only pray to God not to fall sick.
You will see them in A/E when things have gone really worse for them.

Now for the latter part of your post, there are poor neighborhoods in Nigeria and your covid centers won't save you when shit hits the roof . It seems we are providing good care now because our cases haven't escalated (and I pray they don't)
For now, the covid centers have more staff than patients and are really for those mild to moderately ill.

When severe covid strikes with multiple organ failure like kidney failure, respiratory failure we will see where you will turn to. How many dialysis machine do we have in Nigeria? How many can afford the dialysis machine? About 30 to 60 k per session.

Even the ventilators (where only 20%of those put on it are able to come off it, meaning the other 80% will be allowed to die after sometime, i.e. they do not survive) will not help you, and are not even easily accessible and will be accessed only by your rich who have influence.

Please, be careful about your choice of words, and learn to show some respect to covid o. No need to downplay it and limit it's power to only people with underlying issues becasue Covid has been shown to bite a lot of people in their asses.
Governor of Oyo state caught Covid after talking thrash about it, It only got worse in the US after Trump said it was a hoax by his competition, It is humbling nations with all the access to healthcare- the UK's NHS is overwhelmed at the minute because of Covid. The world is grounded because of Covid. Healthy people with no underlying illnesses and obesity have also died in this brouhaha. Children are also not exempt from dying anymore, even though their cases are not as much.
In short FEAR COVID19. The bastard corona is not here to play games with anybody whether healthy or underlying health issue.

henryobinna:
Is this a joke?

Nope. You telling me do my research makes me realize you don’t understand the research and reason behind why african American are disproportionately affected by this virus.

obiekunie2:


i was even thinking this monika and its numerous variants are owned by a teenager not knowing its a grandfather that still behave like a teenager by being such a tribalisitc A-hole.

If being an antidote to the brainwashed ipob miscreants is considered tribalistic in your warped mind then so be it.
I'm not anti Igbo, in fact to the contrary, I support common sense Igbos not the delusional retarded and brainwashed ones who sees others as their only problem in life.
I have a great and respected Igbo as an in law and we get along beautifully. I patronize Igbo businesses on daily basis and they are mostly great people. I often wonder why does these online miscreants come from because in my dealings with Igbos in face to face situations, they couldn't be more different from these ipob miscreants all over the internet.
So if you are one of thr brainwashed miscreants, then mend your ways, stop seeing everything from tribal and religious prisms. If you continue to do that , then don't complain when you get the same treatment back in return. You can show hate then expect love in return, it doesn't work like that amigo.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.. There is no system to keep anybody down in america it's just the phrase the black uses to get solidarity for their bad and lazy lifestyle.. You got schools paid for by government 100%. You got college loans setup if you want to attend college.

so what excuse does anyone have at this point. There is even section 8 for housing and food stamp for feeding every month provided by the government. Those clowns are overfed babies.

You do not have the range for this topic

Don't quote me again with your ignorant nonsense. I have stated why the blacks are the major victims of the virus, if your mind is not advanced enough to understand such reasoning, it behoves on you, to feed it, rather than continue to quote me.

Stop being foolish and think with your brain. Look beyond racism. America is built with hardwork of black Americans but they need to step up and waiting for government to do everything for them. Blame the government doesn't work again, this is 2020 that's why African countries are so backward and Nigerians like you too. Let them step up , get thesame fucking education and jobs like there white counterparts, I know it not easy bcuz they need to work twice there white counterparts but that's what their forefathers did to get them to this level and freedom they enjoy now. They world is not fair, you better you accept it. Even useless Chinese where this shit start are blaming Africa and Nigeria.
